I have been falsely implicated: Seer

Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswathi on Thursday told a court in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, that he had been falsely implicated in the Sankararaman murder case, and that he would not get justice if he were put in police custody.

"It will not be honest and justice will not be there as compared to being in judicial custody," he said replying to questions from First Class Judicial Magistrate I G Uttamaraja regarding the police's application seeking his custody for five days.

He said he was not informed that he was being arrested and was only told that he was being taken to the Sankara Mutt for investigation.
